Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the Modi government of promoting crony capitalism at a heavy cost to the small and medium industry, as he kicked off the Gujarat election campaign with a dialogue addressing the party rank and file.
The debt of farmers in Gujarat is to the tune of Rs 36,000 crore but Tata Nano has been given Rs 60,000 crore loan at 0.01 per cent. The Narendra Modi government works for select and handful of corporates.
When asked about senior leaders sabotaging prospects of genuine candidates just because their recommendations were not heeded, he asserted:
Whoever tries to defeat the Congress, howsoever big or small he or she may be, will not be tolerated. The Congress has no place for them, we don’t want them.
